How about:
/a pattern/
"target_string" <matches?> "$1" "$2" "$3"...
"another_target" <matches?> "$1" ...
/another pattern/
...
The game is to get a bunch of tests written. Given a sufficiently
regular layout Luke and Patrick can no doubt write some code that will
massage things into something that can get run under some test harness.
